Planning for a special event such as a Quinceanera entails months of preparation from venue, to catering, dresses, flowers and much more. One of the important things to plan but sometimes overlooked is how you plan to arrive to the venue on the actual day. Well, renting a limousine is highly recommended for elegance and as well as for comfort.
There are several things to take into consideration when hiring a limousine service to make the most of your investment and to ensure a carefree event.
If your Quinceanera is in the spring or summer months or on a holiday it is crucial to plan early so you won't be disappointed. Spring and summer is when the limo services have the busiest schedule.
Ask the company how many cars they have available. In case the one you order happens to breakdown, you have to make sure you will have a replacement.
It would be in your best interest to do a background check on the company to check if they are not blacklisted. You can check with the Better Business Bureau. Also, make sure they are licensed.
Decide on what type of limousine you prefer. You have several choices like the Lincoln Limousine (long sedan), Stretch Limo (commonly known as the limo for a Hollywood style entrance) and if you have the budget, there are the exotic limousines with luxury features made by BMW, Hummer, etc. Consider your budget and the necessity when you choose the type of limousine.
Ask for images of the limousine for both the exterior and interior. And if you have time, it would be best to visit the company and view the actual limousines.
When you are ordering the limousine make your specifications fully clear. Include the number of passengers, place of event, color and size of the car you want.
Make sure the driver understands what time and location you want to be picked up, as well as the return trip.
Check the payment and cancellation procedures. Usually you have to put down a 50% deposit when you make the booking. Ask about the method of payment for the balance. If you have to cancel you might lose part of your deposit.
Ask about the minimum number of hours for rental. Some limousine services require 2-3 minimum rental.
Ask whether the price quoted includes the driver gratuity. If it's not included, be prepared to fork out about 20% as tip to the driver on the actual day.
Ask if they offer any beverages, chocolates etc. as complimentary items.
Discuss insurance policies. Make sure you ask if it's included in the price.
Have a written contract before you part with your money. Make sure everything you discussed is stated in the contract.
Discuss the driver services. Are they experienced and know the area well? Ask if the driver will wear a uniform and what personal services are included, like opening the door, etc.
Enquire about the driver's service experience; a luxurious limo is not complete without a driver who is well dressed and courteous.
Before signing any contract, make sure you have read all of the above carefully.
